Abstract
As a human activity, politics has long been intended for men only, with women and other minority groups not being allowed to participate in either the social or the political life of the community. Starting in the 1970s, the role of woman within our social and political life strengthened in several countries, but only with legal and incentive measures. The role of women in Bosnian -Herzegovinian society, public life, does not meet the quotas introduced in 1997, which require a 40% women involvement in politics. The research covers the period from 2016 since the last election to date. The aim of the research was to determine the level of representation of women in the political life of BiH at the Federation of BiH, cantonal and local level, respectively. The key hypothesis of this paper is as follows: Is the low level of representation within political bodies of the Federation of BiH, cantonal and local level, respected? Research has shown that women in the BiH Federation are not sufficiently represented in political life. In terms of percentage, no part of the survey pertaining to prime locations, ministerial posts, mayor's seats, and mayors meets the prescribed quota of women's representation in politics being 40%. The Bosnian - Herzegovinian society, if it wants to go in the direction of progress and development, and democratic society, must increase the participation of women in social and political life. Only those societies and states that exclude all forms of discrimination and increase human rights, especially women's rights, as equal members of the community can call themselves democratic and developed societies.

Problem koji se veže uz pitanje kvota jest što se učešćem žena u politici može manipulirati od postavljanja na izborne liste gdje se žene nalaze pri kraju izbornih listi stranaka, a muškarci su na samome vrhu, što im omogućava lakši prolazak u Sabor, Vladu, županijska tijela itd. „Na Opštim izborima 2014. godine izabrano je ukupno 19,90% žena na svim nivoima vlasti

Summary
Žene i druge manjinske skupine nisu sudjelovale u društvenom i političkom životu zajednice. Jača uloga žene u društvenom i političkom životu niza zemalja, ali uz zakonske i poticajne mjere. Uloga žene u bosansko - hercegovačkom društvu, javnom životu, politici ne zadovoljava kvote koje su uvedene 1997. Godine a koje traže četrdesetpostotnu uključenost žena u politiku. Cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti kolika je zastupljenost žena u političkom životu BiH na razini Federacije BiH, Županija Federacije BiH i lokalnoj razini. Istraživanje je pokazalo da žene u Federaciji BiH nisu dovoljno zastupljene u političkom životu. Bosansko - hercegovačko društvo treba povećati sudjelovanje žena u društvenom i političkom životu jer samo ona društva i državekoje isključuju sve oblike diskriminacije te povećavaju ljudska prava, posebice prava žena, kao ravnopravnog člana zajednice, mogu sebe nazvati demokratskim i razvijenim društvima
